Slow and inaccurate? about google-analytics-plugin HOT 13 CLOSED

me too. Google analytics mobile app real time is very slow when use this plugin.

from google-analytics-plugin.

me too, is this fork active develop?

There are several reports of this. I'm still investigating, but currently it does not appear to be a problem with the plugin itself.

from google-analytics-plugin.

The same for me.
In the Phonegap GAPlugin, it's possible to define delay between upload values, in gaPlugin.init();

I don't know of this will contribute to the root cause, but I have, oddly, noticed that this plugin works great on iOS, but android is having a difficult time sending the hits out of the app. This is the console output I am getting repeatedly as I jump to different views:

01-27 15:58:13.912    4250-4529/com.example.app V/GAV3﹕ Thread[GAThread,5,main]: putHit called

This is what I get when I initiate the app:

Note: I did replace the domain name with 'example' in each log entry.

When I come back from a soda break, I sometimes see the results in my console (so I think it's either heavily delayed or network connectivity is pretty slow). Just my observations, though. There may be a chance it might be platform specific, too.

iOS does exhibit a success hit whenever Google receives the impressions:

GoogleAnalytics 3.07 -[GAIBatchingDispatcher didSendHits:] (GAIBatchingDispatcher.m:167): 1 hit(s) sent

Don't think the message is the same on both platforms, but I am not getting anything like that on the Android platform.

Did anyone find a solution to this, my app's analytics seem to be a hit or miss, cant be used reliably

Bump. +1 for slow Android.

I'm using the PlugIn v0.8.0 and I'm currently experiencing the same issue with Android (i.e. Real-Time doesn't work on GA). I can also confirm that it's working fine with iOS.

According to my investigation I did a small change on the PlugIn class UniversalAnalyticsPlugin.
I changed the method StartTracker by adding a call to reportActivityStart like this:

    private void startTracker(String id, CallbackContext callbackContext) {
        if (null != id && id.length() > 0) {
            tracker = GoogleAnalytics.getInstance(this.cordova.getActivity()).newTracker(id);
            callbackContext.success("tracker started");
            trackerStarted = true;
            GoogleAnalytics.getInstance(this.cordova.getActivity()).setLocalDispatchPeriod(30);
            GoogleAnalytics.getInstance(this).reportActivityStart(this);
        } else {
            callbackContext.error("tracker id is not valid");
        }
    }

By updating the project with this change the Real-Time is now working on GA.

Thanks TompiT. Couldn't get reportActivityStart to compile but it did lead me to the right place.

I changed the time period of the setLocalDispatchPeriod method to 1 minute instead of 30. It appears to store tracking in local storage and then dispatches it to GA every xx minutes. Not sure what happens if the app is closed before the time period expires, so if it was set to 30 minutes and I closed my app after 29 would the local storage be cleared and nothing sent to GA? Any how, changing it to 1 minute I get all the real time stats in GA.

Hey I'm getting W/CordovaPlugin(14449): Attempted to send a second callback for ID: UniversalAnalyticsXXXXXXXX for some reason everytime I leave and come back to the page being tracked. Any ideas?

from google-analytics-plugin.

@gobalistik Your fix worked for me, it caused my android events to show up in real-time reports.

Changing setLocalDispatchPeriod(30) to setLocalDispatchPeriod(1) in UniversalAnalyticsPlugin.java in method startTracker() did the trick.

from google-analytics-plugin.

Is this fix going to be put in the main plugin?
